Cycling in Albania

Quality bikes, good support, well organized, decent hotels

Most Inspirational Moment

(1) Llogara pass was amazing (2) Days 2 and 3 Barmash Pass and Carshove/Benje were the most beautiful and least congested (traffic) (3) Gjirokastra was a great stop (and the Hotel Kastro was one of my favorite hotels) (4) the hotel Naos in Radhima Beach had the best breakfast, great pizzas, location, great way to end the trip! (5) the way that the guide organized and kept track of our purchases was very helpful; (6) visit to ruins at Butrint

Thoughts on Group Leader

Well organized, met all the various needs of our group (including those of one of us when he was no longer able to ride due to an accident), very personable and always helpful and reachable and responsive, consistently went above and beyond in terms of organizing and participating in social dinners, etc. Great with organizing/managing expenses for snacks and coffee!

The most challanging trek since my retirement

TMB camping was the 4th and the most challanging long distance hike since my retirement. We were with 12 fellow hikers (me: the only continental person and the oldest female) aged 18-76, guided by Tim, the best guide I ever hiked with and taken care of by Alberto, a hard working chef kook and we had an unlimited fun!

Most Inspirational Moment

There were so many: the first day when we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the surrounding, the day we entered Switzerland and were overwhelmed by heavy rain, hail and thunders and kept laughing, the stunning views on Monte Bianco on Italian trek and the last day , technical hike which I liked a lot!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tim Stephens, assisted by tireless Alberto.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do it, it will be one of the highlights of your life. And choose for a camping trek as I was adviced to!

Even better in the summer!

This was a long intended trip as we’d skied in the Rockies years ago but wanted to see what lay under the snow. We weren’t disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and some have since asked if our photos were AI or real.
This was a trip that allowed for 2-3 nights in each location, which is perfect and preferable to moving on each day. We added 3 days at the beginning to enjoy Calgary , and deal with jet lag, which was well worth it. Calgary was a pleasant surprise.
A few days at the end to visit family and relax after what was a very active and full 10 days.
Other than the initial Calgary hotel, accommodation was very good.
Travel in our 14 seater minibus was fine for the 12 of us on the trip. 14 might have been a squeeze.
We packed a lot in. Did varying lengths of enjoyable walks and hikes, none were too taxing, but allowed us to feel where we were and escape the crowds.
Occasionally felt a couple of hours break, pre dinner might have been good, but wouldn’t miss any of the experiences we had.
Overall a wonderful trip, spent with a lovely group of people who I’d love to meet on a future trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

A few unmissable experiences, rather than inspiring. - The grade 4+ white water rafting on Kicking Hose River! Such an adventure. At one point, didn’t know if still in the raft or not. We were definitely kicked by the horse! - The peaceful Pyramid Lake as the sun set near Jasper. - Taking part in Canada Day on 1st July. - Guided glacier hike on the Athabasca ice fields. I learned so much from this. Lakes Peyto, Moraine, Maligne and Louise were all wonderful, as were the stunning waterfalls we visited, but inevitably crowded.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Louis was a delightful young man and a knowledgable guide, who engaged with everyone in the group. He threw everything into ensuring we had a fantastic experience. Nothing was too much trouble and he often used his knowledge to help us avoid the crowds and experience the best aspects of our trip. His ability to offer the unexpected, such as our drive to Pyramid Lake and to Lake Minnewanka after our final night dinner, said everything about his kindness.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go and just enjoy this wonderful country. Despite the crowds, it is worth doing. Dress in layers as it is mountain country and in Jasper on 1st day it was 11 degrees. Other days it was 25.

Ancient & Modern Japan

Good communication, jam-packed itinerary, fabulous guide (Taka)!

Most Inspirational Moment

Kyoto, the ninja temple in Kanazawa, the Onsens, tips for food from guide, having breakfast looking at Mount Fuji, the kimono museum.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Taka was great! Setting up a WhatsApp group at the start of the trip, keeping in touch with me when I was delayed, recommending places to eat, joining the group for meals etc, good humoured, tailored suggestions to group members eg she knew I would love Don Quixote???? A strong 10 out of 10!

A fantastic couple of weeks

I very much enjoyed the trip. The scenery was fantastic as well as the weather (most days). I really enjoyed the camaraderie which developed within the group over the two weeks and the camping was well organised with good meals and good fun. Our group leader was exceptional.

Most Inspirational Moment

Ascending numerous passes - particularly Col Feret with its amazing views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tim was fantastic - really knowledgeable. He managed a group of wide ranging walking abilities very well and had great knowledge of the local flora and fauna. His photographs shared with the group were very much appreciated. Albert, the camp manager was equally fantastic - an excellent cook and always very friendly and helpful.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a really rewarding experience but it can be very challenging (regular 1000m ascents/descents and walking up to 8 hours per day). You need to test yourself with some back-to-back days of big climb walking before embarking on this trip.

The ultimate adventure

This is one of a kind trip which combines physical challenges, wild camping and the opportunity to understand the unique lifestyle of this amazing country. Although I have travelled extensively around the world, this trip has shown that there is so much more to explore out there. I have not done wild camping previously but I enjoyed the experience so much. Biking was at time challenging but also very rewarding. The scenery and the serenity of the landscape made us feel like we were living in biblical times. The team is outstanding, fun and able to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Most Inspirational Moment

One evening, 3 kids came on a motor bike to offer us curd. The entire group was moved beyond words.

Thoughts on Group Leader

One word - outstanding. Bata understand both western and Mongolian cultures and has a unique ability to manage what it is a fairly complex to organize trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this adventure before the country will eventually change.

Fantastic Experience

Returned last week from this amazing trek with a wonderful group of people. The scenery was spectacular and was so healing to be surrounded by nature and beautiful views.

Most Inspirational Moment

Swimming in Lake Checrouit with Mont Blanc in the background.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic. Tim was kind, patient and well organised.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring a good travel pillow.

Highlights of the Amalfi Coast

Severio was a wonderful tour guide. Every experience far exceeded our expectations. Very helpful staff. We loved it!

Most Inspirational Moment

We loved Ravello and Capri. Also appreciated different modes of transportation (boat, van, open air bus)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio was amazing! So full of knowledge and had a wonderful way of connecting with each and every group member. From my nephew who had just turned 18 to the eldest members who were retired, Severio used his humor and personal stories to create relationships with all.

Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights

Loved the whole trip, the hikes were amazing, people were lovely.

Most Inspirational Moment

The hikes were all amazing, if I had to choose one it would be the gondola and the lake hike.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Chris was fantastic, great sense of humour, set the hikes at right pace, timed water breaks. Joined us for dinner and really helped the group to bond. Great knowledge of the area and talked about his own experiences which was very interesting. Helped get the World Cup on the TV, came out for a birthday drink. Happily answered all our questions

Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights

Had a great experience seeing the highlights of Mont Blanc. Accommodations exceeded my expectations, the hosts went above & beyond. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and was accommodating to all hikers abilities. We had a great week learned so much about the region and will be recommending to friends & family.

Most Inspirational Moment

Accommodations were wonderful and itinerary was well thought out and accommodating to everyone’s ability

Thoughts on Group Leader

Well prepared with a thoughtful itinerary for the group socialized with everyone in the group. Offered suggestions for activities outside of hiking to make our stay more enjoyable.
